who when lost in a forest
start to turn and wander
around without any direction.
suspecting that there is
some pride in your affirmations.
Corruption lies there Doctor.
I'm having a comfortable
trunk made for my travels.
Observe how the blacksmith works well.
Our Aristotelians maintain
that the hammer must be swung
fast so that nature
is surprised by the speed
and is not left any time
to resist the impact of the hammer.
Don't you think their theory is absurd?
Absolutely.
It'll be ready soon.
I'll come back this evening.
I believe that a method of overcoming
doubt and of producing certainty,
should mirror the mechanical arts,
that contain the principles according
to which it is necessary to fabricate
the instruments necessary for them.
What a noise.
Yes, deafening, we'd best leave.
I must hurry to leave.
When are you leaving?
And where are you going?
Perhaps to Italy.
But before departing I 'm going
to visit my countryside at Turenne
to sell the part
of my maternal inheritance
in land and herds,
but I will not sell
before putting aside
a little butter from my cows for you.
I thank you and don't
forget to write to me.
No.
May God help you.
Requiem eternam...
Here are the two deeds of sale.
Mr Rene Descartes will receive
two thousand
pounds from Mr Dielefis
for the purchase of the Gran
Maison and Marchais estates,
another three thousand
will be paid by Mr Chatillon
for the landed estate of Peron,
and Mr Pierre Descartes,
the brother of Mr Rene
Descartes has no objection?
No none.
I want it to be clear that
purchase of the noble rights
over the Bonvenier land
is part of the same transaction.
This appears in the contract
according to the terms you
agreed at the time with Mr Descartes.
Very good, all you have
to do now is to sign.
According to the terms, the contract
will come into force in eight days time.
- Gentlemen.
- Gentlemen.
- Good-day.
- Good-day.
And so you want to free yourself
of part of the inheritance.
This displeases me because
I realise that you have decided
that you don't want to come
back and live with us.
You don't love France.
I wish to live in a place
useful to me,
that I like, where I can
discover something,
where only a few people know me
and where I can reflect in peace.
When will I be able
to see you again?
I don't know. Certainly
when I return from Italy.
You've sold some good rich land.
But I did so with good profit.
Theophile de Vian is an
unpunished libertine atheist,
what malice to have had
the impudence of writing
horrible blasphemies against God.
With his disgusting verses he has
turned our Paris into a Gomorrah.
He has fled and we burn his effigy,
and together with his effigy,
his writings and the writings
of all other libertines burn.
be hunted down in his realm.
God has condemned him.
Burn him!
God will punish these libertines.
Also on this earth he will punish them.
Intolerance is like the plague.
I've been away for three years,
but every time I return to Paris
I always find something
that upsets me
and that makes me want to
leave as soon as possible.
You certainly wouldn't have been able to enjoy
such an exciting spectacle as that in Italy.
So much barbarism and so much
vulgarity amazes and upsets me.
Parliament has exiled the
authors of the theses against
Aristotelian philosophy from Paris,
it has forbidden them from divulging
and teaching under the pain of death
and has condemned Teophile together
with many more of our libertine friends.
... who taught their vices and
made even the
candid paper on which
A good job Teophile Vian
managed to flee Paris,
so that now they have to content
themselves with burning his effigy.
... but fire purifies the earth from their
pride and will render justice to God.
The product of proud
minds must be destroyed.
It is like the discord that
suffocates the souls of simpletons.
They will be thrown into hell.
They will tell Father Mersenne
that if I didn't go to see him
it's because I haven't left
the house for a long time.
The air of Paris has
become stifling for me.
Tell him however that I shall certainly
be at the meeting he has prepared for me.
Thank you, sir, there are
many of us would like to know
the fruit of your reflections
Father Mersenne has talked
Sirs, in bending in to
Father Mersenne's insistence,
I wish to report to you what I have
undertaken to write on this subject,
after two long years of reflection.
guiding intelligence.
It seems incredible to me that
a great number of persons research
the customs of men,
the virtues of the plants,
the motions of the stars,
the transformation of metals and many
other similar disciplines with such fervour
and that no one takes the trouble
of researching man's mind,
about how it may work correctly.
About the human mind, which is a
wonderful and universal source of wisdom
would be no knowledge.
The first rule.
The aim of study must be that of
guiding the mind to certain and true
judgements concerning
everything presented to it
If someone seriously wants to find the
truth, he must not just apply himself
to one particular science, because
the sciences are all connected
and dependent on each other
in the unity of knowledge.
The second rule.
We should only concern
ourselves with those objects
that we think we can reach
certain and safe knowledge of
through our intelligence.
On this subject, you need to know
that among the sciences known today,
only arithmetic and geometry are
free from falsity and uncertainties
because they consist entirely of logically
deducing a series of consequences,
concern a pure and simple subject
and their existence is not based
on anything that concrete
experience has made uncertain.
With their aid,
man can fall into mistakes
only by a lack of attention.
The third rule.
We must not stop at studying
the opinions and conjectures
of others or ourselves,
we must try to perceive
the real content of things,
with the clarity of the evidence.
To this end, we use
intuition and deduction.
By intuition, I do not mean the
inconstant fruit of sensations
or of our imaginations,
but the concept that flows
from a pure and attentive mind,
so clear and distinct
that no doubt can remain about it.
For example, two and two are the
same quantity as three and one,
As for deduction, this is
everything that we do not accept
as necessarily true in the
light of previous knowledge
obtained with absolute certainty.
from these rules and above all
the fourth one that I deduce
from the previous ones.
the search for the truth,
a method that leads
thoughts with order,
